I love this place, even if there's not much to love about this place at all. It's really a mall that's meant as a stopover for commuters who take the MRT, so expect to find mostly food places more than anything else.
For commuters, malls such as Alphaland are really convenient. If you're stuck during rush hour, it's better to get a meal first before braving the masses and the crazy MRT lines. On a hot, face-melting type of day, you can "take refuge" at Alphaland to cool your body down for a bit. If you're just bored and killing time, there's a good Booksale here, a Japan Home Center, a National Bookstore, an Office Warehouse, and some small, tiangge-like places that sell cheap clothes, shoes and accessories.
This place has two convenient stores, too! There's a Family Mart and a Mini Stop. Take your pick. On the third floor you can find a modest food court. There are also days when they have some sort of food festival happening on the ground floor, and you can expect to find Filipino delicacies (i.e. Ilocos empanada) and other food kiosks reminiscent of those you would find at a Banchetto.
Aside from being a commuter's refuge, on top of this mall is a pretty spacious events place (the Alphaland Tents), which I've gone to on one concert. It opens up to a rooftop viewing deck as well. read more
